    Seen him criticising plenty last season, he just done it differently and admitted it was his friend in charge so finds it difficult. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that tbh.

    Think that’s a bit of revision there as well, he battered into the board and Ronny from my memory. Calling it Lawwell’s Pet Project.0

    He, along with Hartson, only started very lightly criticising Lennon when it was far too late. Whereas Deila was getting battered by Sutton at every opportunity.

    from a solid contact.
    I can only assume the club wanted kennedy to be his assistant and to 'learn' from..

    Get the feeling Howe deal has been off for weeks and this is how we have the coaching licence dispensation.

    There’s definitely something wrong with it.

    As a journalist or whatever he’s meant to be, he’s supposed to be impartial. If he can’t criticise ex team mates or whatever then he shouldn’t be in that profession.

    I like Sutton but he was a giant * towards Ronny Deila.

    The back room team and the first few transfers will be very telling in how much of a say Ange will have.

    That is the big question we all have right now, including the man himself has, both about what sort of backing he will get from the board as much as it is about who he may have his eye on.

    I want this guy to succeed.
    I like the way he talks.
    I like his vision for where he wants the club to be.
    I like that he is already identifying players.

    I hate that he's been put into this horrible position by the board. McKay parading him like he was the first choice when the footballing world saw the farce we made of the Howe deal.

    Anyway, welcome to the club Ange.

    Its a big concern. I'd be astonished if they hand him a tonne but then again would he take it if he wasn't given assurances or is he just so "happy to be here"? That's my worry.

    Again, as I've said in other parts of the forum, if the board wouldn't back Rodgers what chance have we got anyway!

    That's the question we don't have a DOF or head of recruitment at the moment and that's shocking and should have been in weeks ago .

    I see plenty wrong with it to be honest. It just made him look silly considering he completely destroyed Deila, for far less than what Lennon put us through last season.

    He did have a go at the board. I have actually said that previously. He gave the board it tight to begin with, but then it quickly turned to Deila. It should have been consistently aimed at the board the criticism. They appointed someone who wasn’t at the level we needed, and then didn’t back him. He was always destined to fail. He was working with one arm tied behind his back.

    Surely there are players in his old team that are good enough for us, the J League is a good level. If we sign a few of them we know they are coming from him.

    Twitter rumour mill is saying his backroom team at Yokohama are on their way over.

    Wish Ange all the best. His success is our success. Let's hope he's supported properly by the club to get us moving forward again.

    Hail hail.....

    This appointment has the Mowbray Debacle written all over it. Its all good saying you will ONLY play attacking football. But if our defence CANT defend and keep the ball out of the net we are going to lose the league and NOT qualify for EUROPE.

    I can only hope this appointment has learnt from previous mistakes and is adaptable when the situation requires it.

    We may see a very cosmopolitan Celtic team.
